Silicon Valley executive Lexi Reese, a Democrat, announced Thursday that she is considering running for the seat being vacated by retiring U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
“As a working mom, I’ve spent my career in nonprofits and at technology and financial services businesses — working to help create economic opportunity for women and small businesses. I want to put that expertise to work on behalf of working Californians to make lives easier for everyone in our state,” Reese said in a press release. “Our great state is at a tipping point, and I believe we need leaders with a different perspective to get us on the right track.”
Reese, 48, previously worked at Google, Facebook, American Express and other tech companies. It’s unclear if Reese is wealthy enough to self-fund a campaign if she chooses that route.
